Easy Grits Recipe

How to make creamy grits without milk or cream. This easy grits recipe only calls for four ingredients!

I love making grits for breakfast. Nothing is better than creamy grits served with maple sausage, and soft scrambles eggs in my humble opinion!

I personally am a person that likes my creamy grits with a little bit of butter, salt & pepper.

When I make grits, I make them the easy way. I don’t use any cream, no milk. None of that fancy stuff! I am just sure to buy a nice quality brand ( I LOVE Albers), and I use water, butter, and salt! I know.. A lot of people think you NEED to add cream of milk to grits to make them creamy. However this is NOT true whatsoever!

Wanna know how to make creamy grits? Well I’ll tell you my secret. The secret to making creamy grits is to cook the grits for a long time! Yes, even the ” quick grits”! The longer you cook grits, the creamier the grits will be! It’s true!

The way I prepare these grits is pretty basic. I don’t add a ton of seasoning or etc, simply because some people like to add sugar in their grits, and some people like to add cheese to their grits. As mentioned earlier, I am a salt & pepper kind of girl. What kind of person are you?

Are you TEAM SALT or TEAM SUGAR when it comes to grits? Let me know in the comment section ( and no fighting, because people get serious when it comes to grits! LOL)

So now let’s what this simple tutorial on how I make my creamy grits recipe. Also be sure to follow me on Pinterest & Facebook!

please don’t delete me. Thank you. I’ve from Arkansas and haven’t had much southern cooking lately. Married to a man from Mexico so I cook a lot of Mexican meals but he’s into mashed potatoes and gravy so maybe can get him to try other Southern Meals.

These grits looks delicious! I was raised on grits with lots of cheese or butter. I use to mix my fried eggs in them! Yummy

Please keep me on your mailing list. I don’t want to miss any of your recipes! And btw…I don’t eat grits that regularly, but when I do, I eat them either with just butter or margarine, or just with salt and a little pepper. If I eat them with something like meat or eggs, I prefer them plain with no salt.

Hey Rosie,
Don’t drop me, please!!! I LOVE your recipes and have tried new things because of you! I’m anxious to try your grits cause I didn’t grow up with them but love anything corn!
Thank you for everything and keep up the great work!!

Hi. Please let me remain on your list. Not only do I love your recipes but I’m in end-stage systolic heart failure and now I also look forward to getting your delicious recipes to cook and enjoy. Keep them coming.❤

Hey Rosie, please keep me on your list. I am team salt and pepper. I use to boil my water first. Now I rinse grits, start it with cold water and just let it cook for about 20 mins. Your’re right the longer they cook the creamier they get. Love your recipes.

If you unsubscribe me, buy stock in Kleenex! I love you and your recipes so much I’d be too sad with you. On grits, I’m all about the S&P. I bought some grits online from S Carolina made from heirloom corn that are a-mazing, best I’ve ever eaten! They’re not quick, though if you soak them overnight they’ll cook up as fast as quick grits. On lazy Sundays I put them in the slow cooker for a few hours for a midday brunch. I’m from NOLA and grillades and grits are my favorite treat for breakfast OR dinner. Ooh-la!
